DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Elsa Küppers: Awe Experiences and Their Effects on
  the Self in Travel Records from Late Chosŏn Korea\n\nHybrid Event\n\nPle
 ase contact the CRC coordination team if you would like to attend in-perso
 n.\n\n_________________________________\n\nAbstract\n\nKorean elites of th
 e late Chosŏn period undertook journeys to places of natural beauty or hi
 storical significance to “leave the dust” of their mundane lives. Many
  personal records of such temporary escapes from everyday life are transmi
 tted in the form of travel- and place-related texts. Some of them recount 
 experiences of awe - a complex emotion felt in non-quotidian encounters wi
 th something vast\, such as looking down from a mountain or seeing a spect
 acular sunrise. Awe\, described by some as a self-transcendent emotion\, h
 olds the potential to change a person’s view of life and the self. Thus\
 , the texts are valuable sources for investigating how the individual conc
 eptualized the self in relation to the world\, what kind of language was u
 sed for this purpose\, and which (non-)religious traditions informed it. T
 he talk will present my dissertation project and give first insights into 
 the material.
